MLK Day, Jan. 20, 2014

CELEBRATING KING'S LEGACY When racial disparities in health, education, or employment are exposed, it is often the government that is called upon to identify—and eliminate—the cause. But does the Constitution permit the government to do so? University of Virginia School of Law Prof. Kim Forde-Mazrui,
BA '90, JD '93, addressed this question Jan. 20 as the featured speaker at Michigan Law's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebration.
Prof. Forde-Mazrui is UVA's Mortimer M. Caplin Professor of Law and a former director for the Center for the Study of Race and Law.
His scholarship focuses on equal protection, especially involving race and sexual orientation.
